Use a Silicon Muffin Mold to Freeze Eggs

If you have a silicon muffin bar at home, then you can put eggs inside them and freeze. Eggs can last for three weeks in your refrigerator, but when you freeze them, they can last up to a year.

Freeze Smoothie Bags

If you have some bananas, berries, or any other fruit that are starting to ripen and you don’t think you’ll eat them before they get too ripe, slice them up and freeze in a plastic bag. Just add Greek yogurt or honey before tossing them into a blender for a great breakfast or healthy snack.

Freeze Your Dough

In case you have some leftover dough for pizza, pie crust, or cookies just cover them with plastic wrap and put in your freezer. When you need them, simply thaw and you can make a pizza or pie on any given night.

Freeze Homemade Soup Stock in a Muffin Tray

The next time you have some leftover soup, use a muffin tray to freeze it. They’ll be perfectly portioned in each container and can fit in bowls when you decide to reheat.

Freeze Some Fresh Herbs

If you see that your herbs are starting to dry out, freeze them in olive oil! To do this, finely chop your herbs, then get an ice cube tray, pour some olive oil, and add the chopped herbs into the oil. Put the tray in the freezer and you’ll have herb olive oil cubes you can throw into your pan for cooking whenever you want.

Puree Your Avocado Before Freezing

Rather than putting the unused half of an avocado in your fridge, try pureeing it first then transfer into a plastic container before freezing. This will make it easier to defrost for recipes and will keep it green instead of going brown.

Freeze Chopped Vegetables

For this tip, all you have to do is blanch your chopped vegetables, drain, let them cool, and then place into a ziplock before putting in the freezer. You’ll save so much time and money by trying this out.

Freeze Leftover Wine for Cooking

Before you pour the leftover red or white wine down the sink, try freezing it to use in your next recipe. An ice cube tray is an ideal way to freeze it, giving you individual cubes that are convenient for individual recipes.

Freeze Sliced Bread

By freezing your sliced bread, you can keep it fresh in a month. When needed, just get your frosty slice from the freezer, pop it in the toaster, and breakfast is served.

Your freezer is one of the most useful and versatile appliances in your kitchen. It can help you save so much money and helps make sure you’re never wasting food again. So give these ten smart freezing hacks a try and let me know what you think!
